I used to be a .300 Weatherby shooter. Then a friend told me there was a gun collection being put out at one of our local gun stores, and a bunch of Mausers were in the pile.

I ended up getting the Husky for $199 along with several other nice Mausers, a Remington 8 and a pristine SaginawSG M1 Carbine. 9 guns total. The most expensive one was a Flaigs Ace in .280Rem built on an Arg 1909 with a 1961 vintage Leupold scope. It was $249 and is one of my all time favorite rifles.

I shot the Husky and loved it. Then my buddy gave me his Win 70 in .300 WM, so I sold my .300 Weatherby and focused on .300 WinMag. It is much easier on barrels than .300 Wby and the drop off in performance is more than offset by ease of loading.

TMI, I know. But at least I did not tell the long version. Ha.

The nice thing about all the Flaigs Mausers from the collection is that they were custom made to fit the guy who passed away. He must have been exactly my size because they fit me perfectly. All were made between 1961 and 1963 and are pristine. He was probably a guy I would have really liked.
